North British Single Grain Scotch Whisky, 28y 1994
Lowlands, The Whisky Cellar, 750 ml
Producer: | The Whisky Cellar |
Origin: | Scotland / Lowlands |
Description
This Northern British 1994 matured for a full 28 years in a first fill ex-bourbon cask and proves once again how good the style of these single grain whiskies can be, made in the right hands. Already the nose reveals its matured aromas, reminiscent of lemon zest, vanilla cream and caramel wafers. On the palate, accompanied by vanilla ice cream, white chocolate and grated nutmeg, this Single Grain ends in a long finish with hints of vanilla from Madagascar and liquorice. This is an exclusive bottling for Baur au Lac Vins in collaboration with The Whisky Cellar.
The Whisky Cellar
The Whisky Cellar was founded in 2017 as an independent Scottish bottler by whisky expert Keith Bonnington
Bonnington, who lives in the heart of Edinburgh, can look back on a career in whisky spanning almost two decades. For over 10 years he was responsible at Edrington for brands such as the Macallan and Highland Park.
Lowlands
Lowlands: Hochprozentig subtil
Gelten die Inseln und das Hochland mit ihren idyllischen Landschaften als Imageträger der Single Malt-Kultur, so sind die dicht besiedelten Lowlands das industrielle Herz Schottlands. Doch auch hier konnte der Niedergang der Whisky-Kultur in den letzten Jahren gestoppt werden. Rund ein halbes Dutzend Destillerien, die sich grösstenteils in den nördlichen Lowlands unweit der Metropolen Glasgow und Edinburgh befinden, sind heute wieder tätig und produzieren mehrheitlich leichte und sehr ausgewogene Brände.
Scotland
Scotland – Wild history, warming whisky
Whiskey, bagpipes, kilts – These are the most famous elements of Scottish culture. It has not been conclusively determined who invented whisky. The Scots and Irish both argue that they invented the “water of life.” Food and drink definitely tops the Scottish export categories. Every second, around 40 bottles of whisky are purchased. So it’s hardly surprising that whisky makes up around 80 percent of total food and drink exports.
